Sapp with a horrible team three years in a row. (which I am in no way blaming him solely for)

He had a great 06 in Oakland, but he wasn't doing any interviews. Defensive Players like Sapp sometimes suffer by comparison from their early success, just like Deion did here. Because you don't hear about them, doesn't mean they're not doing well.

I would argue that Sapp could still play DT better than 50-60% of the nfl today.
